What has changed at Boone Pickens Stadium recently?

A $55 million renovation of Boone Pickens Stadium's seating bowl, completed before the 2025 season, replaced seating treads and risers to increase legroom by six inches, added new vomitories and aisles, installed handrails, replaced bench seating to match the West End Zone, added some chair-back seats, and added wheelchair and companion seating in the upper cross aisle. The stadium's capacity for the 2025 season is 52,168. (source)

What are the tailgating rules at Boone Pickens Stadium?

Registered Student Organizations, academic departments, and staff departments may reserve tailgating space on game days on the International Mall-south lawn and Old Central-south lawn. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for Boone Pickens Stadium?

Not yet. The whole seating bowl was rebuilt before the 2025 season with new rows, aisles and seats, so older lidar surveys no longer match it. We only publish seat and sun data measured from a survey of the stands as they are now, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies until a newer survey is flown.
